19 Claims. 1

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in make-up galleysfor use in offset or job work in printing and newspaper plants and hasfor its primary object to lock the type within the galley at the exactand correct measurement required.

Another object of this invention is to enable a printer, setting thetype in the galley, to make use of the point system and to obtaina'correct measurement of the type and to hold the said type in place atthe correct measurement.

Another object of this invention is to provide a printers galley, with amovable squaring member or gage arm, which is longitudinally moved thesquaring arm is the provision of a lockingI dev1ce adapted to lock thesquaring arm in to provide means whereby the squaring arm rmay thecorrect and exact measured position.

Another important object of this invention is be completely detached orremoved from the gal-v ley.

These and ancillary objects are attained bythis invention, a preferredembodiment of whichY is set forth in the following description and il-Klustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure l is a plan view of a galley, illustrat-y ing the improvedsquaring arm and the actuating means therefor;

Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view of one end of thegalley, shown generally in Figure 1;

Figure 3 is asectional view taken substantially on the line 3-3 ofFigure 1;

Figure 4 is a transverse sectional view taken substantially on the planeof line 4 4, illustrating the means provided for guiding the squaringarm and for locking the arm in desired placement;

Figure 5 is a cross sectional view taken substantially on the plane ofline 5-5 of Figure 1:

Figure 6 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view taken substantiallyon the line 6-45 of Figure 1; y

Figure 7 is a fragmentary sectional view taken` substantially on theline I-'I of Figure 1 and;

Figure 8 is a view in perspective of the structure employed to effectthe guide and locking arrangement of the squaring arm.

Referring now more particularly to the 'drawings, wherein similarcharacters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout, thenu-v meral I0 designates a conventional printers galley, having acustomary upraised side wall I2 and a similar end wall I4, within whichtype is hand set or grouped in the usual method.

suitably secured to the opposite side from the upraised side wall I2 ofthe oblong galley and adapted to serve as an opposed side wall incooperating relationship with the wall I2 is a longitudinally extendingblock I6. The block I6 is suitably secured by customary attaching meanstothe end wall I4 and by means of screw 20 to the galley. Suitablyjournalled at one end within the channel formed inthe block I6 is anelongated actuating n rod 22, being suitably threaded. The extendingterminus of the acl tuating rod 22 is suitably journalled at one end ofthe block with the opposite extremity thereof suitably reduced andextending through the end ofthe block, with a` knob 24 secured on the'pro` jecting terminal thereof by a set screw 26. suitably fashionedlongitudinally in the inner side wall of the block I6 is a T-shapedtrack or guide-way 30, for a` purpose to be later described'.`

A conventional squaring arm 32 is adapted to be longitudinallyv movableon the galley I0 by rotation of the finger piece 24, which impartsrotation to the actuating rod 22. Integrally extending from thetriangular T-shaped squaring arm 32 is a carrier block 34, which isangularly formed and is adapted to overlie the longi-v tudinal block I6.Suitably secured to the under surface of the carrier 34 is an arcuateguide 36,

which is suitably riveted or otherwise secured as at 38 to the undersurface of the carrier block and is suitably exteriorly threaded toengage the threaded shank of the actuating rod 22, whereby rotation oftheshank 22 coincidentally and correspondinghr moves the squaring arm32.

Suitably scribed on the block I6 on either side of theY actuating rod 22journalled longitudinally in the channel formed in the block are picagraduations, corresponding to the conventional point system, utilized intype setting, which is' marked as to six and twelve points and as to theinch scale. The actuating rod 22 has suitably secured on the extendingportion thereof between the nger knob 24 and the extremity of the blockI6 a similarly subscribed or marked 36 moves the squaring arm or gage 32on the Thus, it can be seen that throughV galley to position the typethereon. In rotating the linger piece 24, exact control can be had ofthe amount of revolution needed being imparted to the elongated screw oractuating rod 222, through the medium of aligning the line gage set 40on the block I6 with the pica graduations carried by the collar 42, sothat various forms of type may be accommodated, such as the greatprimer, little pica, the interlinear or the like.

Suitable means are provided for locking the squaring arm 32 inpredetermined and selected positions and for preventing verticalmovement of the squaring arm relative to the galley. The

means preferred comprises a pin 50, having anV of the block I5. The headportion 52 of .the pin l 50 is movable through an oblong slot 55 formedin the side of the squaring arm adjacent the carrier. The pin Y59 has anextending exteriorly threaded terminus 55, upon which is suitablyreceived an attaching cap 58. Interposed between the attaching cap 58,which is received on the extremity 56 of the pin 50 is an elongatedsupport plate 62, having securing apertures 5d disposed therein, throughwhich extend attaching screws 66, which secure the plate 62 to the outersurface of the side of the squaring ,arm 32, adjacent the carrier block.Integrally extending from the attaching plate 62 and suitably securedaround aperture e8 formed therein is a series of cam shaped rings 10.Suitably received on the extending pin 50 is a cylindrical case orclutch collar 12 having a series of cam shaped semi rings 16 on theinner end thereof, which are complementary to the fixed cam series 1B.An actuating or Vnger pin 14 radially extends from the collar 12 andserves to rotate the collar with a holding collar 16 extended into theouter end thereof. Interposed between the cap 58 and the collar 12 is aholding collar 16, having a slot 1B formed therein, to accommodatesecurely the or smaller arm or gage, the arm or gage is detachable fromthe galley. However, since many other objects and purposes of thisinvention will become apparent to those skilled in the art, upon aperusal of the foregoing description, in view of the accompanyingdrawings, it is to be understood that certain changes may be eiectedthereon, within the spirit of the invention and within the scope of theappended claims.

Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

l. A galley comprising a type receiving plate having an elongated blockon one of the side edges thereof, a type positioning and locking armslidably carried by said block and disposed transversely on the plate,actuating means disposed in said block for moving said armlongitudinally on the plate, a guideway formed on fthe nner surface ofthe block, a guide and locking assembly carried bysaid arm and includinga pin having a head portion slidably and rotatably disposed in thegroove, means for selectively rotating and axially reciprocating saidhead portion i. in the groove to disengage said head irom saidprotruding pin, disposed` on theshank of the f pin 50, with radiallyextending finger pins 82 formed on the collar. A coil spring 84 isreceived around the shank of the pin 50, between the plate 62 and thecap member V58 and serves to bias or urge the head portion 52Yof the pin50 outwardly,

Thus, with reference to Figure 8 of the drawings, it is to be noted thatrotation of the collar 16 by the nger pin 32 correspondingly moves orrotates the pin 5!) and the head 52. Thus, when the nger pins 82y aremoved upwardly the head'52 is disposed in vertical placement and issecured with-in the head portion ofthe slot or guideway 3G. In thisposition. movement of the collar 12 through the finger piece 14 causesthe complementary series of work shaped rings 10 and 16 to be movedVinto an extended position, thereby forcing the head portion 52 securelyagainst the block I6. l

To'remove the squaring arm 32 from `the galley IB', half rotation of thecollar 16, moves the head portion 52 out oiv engagement with the slot30, the pin 50 being urged forward by the Yspring 84.
